Australian Christmas

So it is officially summer. Good old Aussie summer with barbies, Christmas, cold beers and thongs (the foot wear, not the underwear.)
I was listening to AM radio and they are talking about people on TV not saying 'Merry Christmas' because they don't want to offend other cultures like Muslims that do not celebrate Christmas. Instead, they say 'Happy Holidays' or 'Have a great festive season'.
I think it is absolutely crazy! Australia was made of Christians and catholics and since the first settlement, Christmas has been celebrated.... Until multiculturalism came into the scene. People don't want to offend the immigrants, even though they moved here and were aware that most Australians celebrated Christmas, sing carols and have Christmas trees and Nativity scenes. People who immigrate to Australia kick up a stink and say these things are offensive to their beliefs. But they moved here and they have no right to tell us how to celebrate Christmas. And these religious 'murderes of the Xmas spirit' are more than happy to take days off with the public holidays during the Xmas period. Hypocrisy much?
A majority of Australians do not tell other religions to not do Ramadan or praying five times a day. What gives them the right?! It makes me so mad!
The whole tale that our parents tell us about Santa Claus and the reindeer and the North Pole lives in all of us, even when we are adults. Because it is all about the spirit of Christmas, even if you are an atheist, catholic or christian or have yellow skin, pink, black or red. It's a shame we can't all embrace Christmas for what it is. I think if we did, the world would be a awesome place....Even if it is only once a year.
I am not a racist, i am a proud Australian and i will defend my beliefs and the traditions and beliefs of the Australian culture...even if I am an atheist.

P.S: I am not generalising other cultures, i know that not ALL people of other religions have something against Christmas. So please don't message me telling me how not everyone does this. I am aware.

The NBN (National Broadband Network)

Those of you living in Australia will know about the argument about the NBN. Many people around the nation say that they DO NOT want the NBN to be rolled out to every home across Oz.
Julia Gillard has said that the NBN will cost 45 billon! My argument (As well as many others i have spoken to) is that there are so many better things that this extreme amount of money can be used for: fixing our hospitals, schools, housing.... the list goes on. And a lot of people think this because most homes in Oz have broadband ADSL2 which is the fastest broadband you can have right now. The NBN propose that the new broadband will be many times faster. So that sounds like an advantage. But i use wireless internet and it is very fast. I couldn't want it to be faster. But thats not the only point.
People who DO NOT have a computer, will have to spend thier own money on expensive new telephones and equipment to use with the NBN because the older phones will not be compatible. Is the governments going to reimburse people for the extra cost? I think they should, seeing as the population of Oz do not have a choice as to weather they recieve the NBN or not.
What a great government we have (Insert sarcastic face here)
